Dark Souls II - Preview @ JumpToGamer

Overall, I think the test shows that this could be the strongest showing in the Souls series. It has everything that made the other games great, while coming to the table with enough improvements and tweaks to make it stand out. I had absolutely no invasions or PvP attempts, so I cannot comment on any differences from the past titles. If the difficulty lays between the two presented in the beta I think most players will be happy, but as long as the development team gives us a challenge and a reason to keep picking up the controller death after death, I will.
